Indisoapolis is very mucu irignteuea over the appearanca of smallpox in the city. Several cases have been discovered, and in one instance the victim was proprietor of a grocery store where he attended to bis business until the disease broke out on him, and he lay in a room over the store for several days before the nature of his disease was "known, customers coming and going all the time, 1 -H,.

Some miscreant sent through the postoffice to John Johnson, a Randolph county farmer, two smallpox Bcabs, accompanied by a note saying: "We frave sent you the smaHpex, now, d—m it, go home n'nd die." The matter has been turned ?er to the postoffice authorities, and will receive their attention. The wretch who would thus endeavor to fcatter disease is too mean to live, and should be be caught •o punishment would be too severe for

They are baviog a newspaper wttr of huge dimensions in Alliance, Stark county, Ohio. The two rival editors have a dispute in regard to circulation. One of them agreed to exhibit his books in confirmation of his statements, but before the time arrived for so doing three of the books were etolen. The thief has been caught and implicates the other editor, who he says employed him to purloin the books. The accused says it is a conspiracy to ruin bis character and threatens law suits sgainst all concernsd.

In the telegraphic columns this morning will be found the much talked of speech which the assassin wanted to deliver to the jury, but which the court would not permit. It is a strong production of egotistical impudence, and as such will rank high among productions of that CISBS of literature. It is noted for the absence of evidence of insanity. Before submitting it to (he public the assassin thought he woald^make something ont of it, and proposed to sell it for $800. Failing to find a purchaser he concluded to give it away. It will be very generally read, and few who peruse it carefully will be inclined to consider it the work of a lunatic.

Mrs. Lincoln is at present in Hew York undergoing medical treatment for a complication of diseases. Advices from her physicians say that she is in a pitiable condition, and is being treated at an expense of about twenty dollars per day. Congressman Springer, of the twelfth Illinois district, in which Mrs. Lincoln resides when she is at home, has drawn up a bill to pay the widow of tbe martyred Lincoln arrears of pension covering between the death of her husband, April 14 1865, and July 14,1870, the date on which the bill granting her annual pension of $3,000 was passed. Senator Logan has undertaken to secure its passage in the senate, and will doubtless succeed.

Civil eervice reformers are becoming very numerous. The latest one is Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, who has introduced a bill in congrcsi providing for a civil service commission of five members, only three of whom shall be members of the same political party. It makes it the dnty of the commission to provide and submit to the president a set of rules to be used in tbe examination and to govern the selection of persons for the civil service, and also to tee that the examinations are thorough, to the best interests of the civil service, and, to devote their whole time to promote it Of Course the commissioners are to .be salaried. The bill is to be pushed vigorously, b(ut the spoils of office are so inseparably connected with the politics of the country that it'will be impossible to wore its

fiEXATOB WEBSTER WAGHEE. Mr. Wagner, who lost bis life in one of his celebrated palace ears in ihe terrible railroad accident at Spuyten Day vil list Friday evening, was born in Palatine Bridge, Mew York, Ostobar 2, 181?, and consequently was 64 years old. His parents were Germane* spd gave him a common school education. He worked on his father's farm for a time and then learned the trade of wagon making. After thie be became a station agent on what was then known the TJtica and Schenectady Bailroad. He K*s always a keen observer and a oonstant thinker, and as be watched tbe long through trains of comfortless cars which went by his station door, the thought that gave him his'fortune came into his mind. He saw thatsoonoror later the traveling public would require sleeping caw, and be set at work to devise plans for this innovation in railroad travel. Foflr cars were constructed at a cost of $3,200 each, and commenced running on the New Yerk Central September 1,1858. The system of ventilation wasfonnd.to be imperfect. Tbe ventilators were opposite the sleepers, and when the trains were running it' was necesssry to keep them closed. To remedy tbe defect the elevated roof was devised by Mr. Wagner. This proved to be so useful an improvement that it was applied iiot only to sleeping cars, but to ordinary passenger cars. On August 20, 1867, he put in operation his first drawingroom car for day travel. Elegance of appointment was made the features of both the night and day Wagner caw, and the expense of each one is now from $17,000 to $20,000.

In 1870 he was elected assemblyman by the republicans of Montgomery county, and served on the committee on banks. Ia 1871 be was sent to the senate from the eighteenth senatorial district, beating his opponent by over 3,000 majority. He was afterward reelected without opposition. Io tbe feenate of 1872 and 1873 he was chairman of the committee on public expenditures and a member of the committees on railroads and on grievances. The two years following -he was chairman of the coniinittee on public buildings, and was on the committoe on railroads, cities and agriculture. In 1S76 and 1877 he waB chairman of the committee on printing and a member of the committee on railroads and on villages. He was again elected by a lsrgemajority to the senate, and waB chairman of the committee on railroads and a member of several important committees. He was elected to the present senate without opposition.

In his entire career Senator Wagner displayed sound sense and good judgment. Though 64 years old, he enjoyed perfect health. He possessed a rugged constitution and displayed unusual vigor for one his years. His face, with a high forehead and soft blue eyes, was intelligent and interesting. In tbe senate chamber his tall, broad-shouldered, but slightly stooping figure was a familiar sight. Mr. Wagner was preeminently a self-made man. His greatgrandfather was Peter Wagner, a lieutenant colonel in the American army, who made an honorable recoM in th$ "border warfare." 'At Palatine Bridge, his early bom?, Mr. Wagner built a handsome residence, where he entertained his friends in a hospitable manner. He also owned a residence at No. 14 East Forty-fourth street in New York City, where his family spent the winter. This house he adorned with works of art. The family consists qf one son and four daughters. 7

DAKOTA'S POPULATION AND WEALTH. It is certain that a strong effort will be made during the present session of congress to have Dakota admitted as a btate. Ia is equally as certain the democrats will bring to bear every means at their command to defeat^he measure. In a matter of so much importance any facts relating to it are of intereSt. Governor Ordway, of Dakota, has prepared a report on the territory, which contains much valuable information. In speaking of the admission be says:

The proposed division of the territory from esst to west on tho 46th parallel, each portion retaining the famous name of Dakota, with a suitable prefix, appears to be satisfactory to both sections. A still furtner division, cutting off all that portion of the territory west of the 24th meridian of longitude, west from Washington, which includes the Black Hills and mining districts, has been pretty fully discussed, and still has strong advocates. If three divisions were made it would leave Southeastern Dakota, or that portion south of the forty-sixth parallel, with about 100,0M inhabitants, and abont 50,000 square miles of territory while Northern Dakota, or the wheat growing-region, would have from 60,000 to 70.000 inhabitants, and an area of about 40,000 square miles. Both of thess sections are being settled up so rapidly with such an enterprising and well-to-do-class of settlers that each division will soon have the number of inhabitants which will be required under the new apportionment to form a congressional district The third section, containing about 60.000 square miles, would be likely to iema!n as a territory for a longer period.

The formation and admission of one new state from the vast territory now embraced in Dakota are questions eo prominently engaging the attention of the government and general public that they must speedily be met and solved. From careful examination and consideration of these important questions, I am clearly ol opinion that the shortest and safest road to statehood will be through a comprehensive enabling act, prepared by the most experienced members'and committees of congrcs*. This act should contain ample provision for the future protection and safe keeping of the five million acres of school lands now held in trust by the government to found a system of public schools. It should also provide for an increaso «f the membership of future legislatures to not less than one hundred In the lower house and thir-ty-si* in the upper branch, with corresponding membership in constitutional-conventions.

In speaking of the increase of property, population, etc., the report sayt: The total valuation, as returned by the assefr sars of the various counties for the year 1880, was 920,750,782. The total amount returned by the detailed assessment rolls for the year 1M1, as assessed in Hay and June of this year, was {81,301,818, showing an increase during the last fiscal year of over fifty per cent., or more than $10,000,000 assessed. As property is usually assessed at from one half to two-thirds of its actual market value, I think It will be safe to estimate the actual property or wealth of the territory at 950,000,000, aside from the value of 1,500 of railroads and their equipments, which are only taxed a percentage upon the grow receipts as returned by the vaiiops corporations operating these roads, In lieu of all other taxes.

I estimate that there has been an increased population of the territory, since the last census was takeu.of at least 40.090, making the present aggregate population 175,000. I estimate that (his increased population bas been divided as follows: From 15,000 to 20,000 in what is known

Two Boys That Were Hungry One of the most cunning and polite little fellows in the State qi New Jersey spent the day at a kind neighbor's house recently, whale liis.vmamma was away on a visit. His lunch hour at home was 11, and at the usual timo he began to feel hungry. But-the family did not lunch till noon, and, as there were no signs of preparation, Harry (we will call him) was filled with the gravest apprehensions. Good manners forbade that he should ask for anything, and yet he couldn't wait another minute, How considerately he did it will appear.. "Mrs. Thompson," said he, very earnestly, but very tenderly,

Mlf

—will you be so very kind—as to give me something.to eat? I mean if it isn't too much trouble." "Why, certainly, my dear," she replied'. "What would you like to have?" "Oh, anything will do ma'am—anything," he responded, with nervous eagerness, "if, it isn't too expensive,"

It is needless to say- that he got it immediately. A very different kind of a boy was Johnny D—, who was visiting a neighbor, but not in New Jersey. He was offered a piece of bread and butter, which he accepted, but not with any great degree of enthusiasm. "What do you say, Johnny,1' said the lady, expecting him to say "thank you." "I say it ain't cake," was the re* sponse. 1

Eyes Which Bleep One at a Time

CONGRESS.

.. *s_—

There is a man.. in Macon who owns a pair of the most remarkable eyes we have ever heard of. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that one of them goes to Beep before the other does, and consequently one wakes up in the morning sooner than the other.

It must bo very interesting to have such a pair of eyes. The right eye goes to sleep and sleeps soundly while the other lies restlessly awake striving by aU manner of devices to woo "nature sweet restorer, balmy sleep." Now and then the-left optic, ^ide awake looks over the bridge of the man's nose at its partner, sees the fringed curtain of the right eye's couch tiglitly drawli, hears the sleeping eye snore away into the very bowels of sleep, and then wishes to gracious it could?drop its curtain tioo. And then it nods and takes cat naps, to be occasionally awakened by the continued snoring of its neighbor! Finally it drops off into a doze and both ocular demonstrations dream until morning, when another difficulty appears. The right awakens and wants to get up, but the left peeper turns over in its bed and swears it Would give a thousand dollars for just ten minutes more sleep

Surely a man with such a pair of eyes ought to have dead loads of fun all to himself. We would, for certain.—Macon (Ga.) Messenger.

No matter if they are high or low in station, rich or poor in pelf, conspicuous or humble in position they are surely upper circles in the or'J. of nature, whatever the factdiious l.jtinctions of society, fashionable unfashionable, decree. It is not low, it is the highest duty, privilege and pleasure for the great man and high-fouled woman to earn what they possess, to work their own way through life, to be the architects of their own fortunes. Some may rank the classes wo have alluded to as only relatively low, and, in fact, the middling classes. We insist they are absolutely the very highest?-#If there be a class of human beings earth who may be properly denominated low, it is that class who spend without earning, who consume without producing, who dissipate on the earnings of their fathers or relatives, without being anything in and out of themselves. -ms "A Mouse in School.

A mouse came near breaking up a school in Connecticut, recently. Trottin"- about on the floor, the children spied him, and a "buzz of whispers called the teacher's attention. "Now, children," said she in a kind and motherly way, "keep very quiet, every one of you. Don't move nor say a word if the mouse comes toward you. He is perfectly harmless."

THE SEJUAfE.

WAPHIKGTON Jan. 16, 1882. The chair submitted a petition trcm the Conncil of Chic'go for the relinquishment to that city of the-Fort Dearborn addition.

Vest presented the petition of Hon. Henry Hitchcock and others, of St Louis, for the es&blishment of competitive exsminationsfor all subordinate officers of the Government.

Yoorhees repeated from the joint select committee on the subject, a bill authorizing ihe construction of a building for the accommodation of the Congressional library. It is substantially the bill passed by the Senate last yearjproviding for the purchase cf the squares east of the Capitol grounds, and the appropriation of $1,500,000 to commence the construction of ihe building. The present bill increases the amount that may be expend ed for the purchase of land from $1,000,000 to $1,100,000, and authorizes the commission, the Secretary of the Interior, •Architect of the Capitol and Librarian of Congress, to make contracts for the construction of the building.

Logan introduced and asked present consideration Of a'bill granting arrears of pension to the widow of Abraham Lincoln. He had read a letter from the surgeons attending the lady, showing her to be a sufferer from spinal and other troubles, and from cataracts on both eyes. He said he had statements from persons who knew tbe lady well, that her income was insufficient to pay for the necessary medical and nuree attendance which^ her comparatively helpless condition required. The arrearages under the bill would be at the rate of a .pension of $3,000 per year lor five years, or $15,000.

Iogalls said his resolution, offered before the holidays, directing inquiry aa to what farther, allowance should be made Mrs. Lincoln, was. now ,being considered by tbe Pen-ion ^ommiltee to which it was referred, and he suggested the rsference of tbe bill to that committee.

Blair, of the Pension Committee, explained that the cases of Mrs. Garfield and Mrs, Lincoln were now under consideration, and it was hoped a report would, be made at an early day.

The bill' was then referred to the Pension Committee. The House census deficiency bill, making an appropriation of $540,000, was passed.

The Sherman funding bill, afttr statements that the understanding was that the vote on the bill would not be taken until to morrow, and that Plumb and others desiring to offer amendments were, absent, was laid over informally.

The Senate tben took up Ingalls' resolution declaring that the arrears of pensions acts ought not to bi repealed,

Ycorhees spoke in support of the resolution, declaring the press of the country, especially that portion of it controlled by wealthy corporations, was making charges against the act without the slightest foundation for tbe same. He read parts of the act to show that it had been- misrepresented, and asserted that it had received thorough examination before it bed passed. Hi characterized the charges which are made of fraud, Ac., as idle clamor, and contended that F®?* sion payments were of special benefit in circulating money among the people.

Bsck made a long speech against the resolution. He charged that the arrearages act was the work of the pension agents' bureaus, that it was passed at the close of the session, without debate, and under the impression that' it would not cost ever $30,000,0C0 he said no one objected to the principle of the bill, but as it etocd it threw the doors, wide open for Jraud, and that ten per cent, of the claims allowed were fraudulent.

A discussion took place between Beck and Ingalls, in which the latter said he did n.)t know when he voted for the messure, how much it would cost, and neither did he care. The principle of tbe act was a just one, and whether it cost $19,000,000 or $1,000,000,000, he was for it then and now.

At this point, B.ck having asked twenty minutes to morrow to complete his remarks,' the discussion closed for the present. The Sherman funding bill waa laid over as unfinished business for tomorrow.

Bills were introduced and referred, as follows: By Cockrell, to amend the homestead and pre-emption laws by requiring cluimants for agricultural entries, before final proof ia submitted, to tile with_ Registers of the Land Office notice of intention to make proofs, and dirt clirg copies of such ncticis to be posted in the Register's office for thirty days.

Ciineron, of Pennsylvania, delivered a twenty minutes' speech upon the general Buljecl of taxation, internal and external, taking as Ir* s» his pending resolution declaring it ". to reduce the revenue by abch. -0'«. the existing internal jevenue taits except those npon high wines and distilled spirits.

After the transaction of some routine business, the Senate adjourned. .j

msl THE HOUSE,

WASHINGTON, JAN^B, 1882. RobesoD, immediately after the reading of the journal, called up, as a privileged question, the report from the Committee on Rules, submitted by him on Thursday, increasing the membership of various committees. A point of order was raised by Townnend snd Burrows that the call of States for bills couid not be interfered with.

The Speakeroverroltid the point of order, folding that a privileged question took precedence of the call of States.

Burrows raised the question of consideration, and the House decided not to consider the question of privilege at

PrUnder

bills were introduced and referred By Wheeler, of Alabama, to prevent the introduction of infectious or contagious diseaser also, to aid in the establishment and temporary support of common rcheols.

Farwell, of Illinois, to repeal the law imposing a tax on the deposits and capital of banks also repealing the stamp tax on bank checkB and igatches.

By Borrows, to retire the National Bank notes. By Fold, for the payment of bounties

fp-

to the heirs of colored troops serving in the late war. By Houk, granting tensions to civil officers Injured in the service of the United States, ur to their widows and children

By Heaeldins, to "coin" and regulate fraciicnal paper currency- It directs the Secretary, within ninety daja of the passage of this set, to procure a paper currency which shall be legal tender in sums of II-SB than one dollar. Tbe currency shall he of denominations of 10c, 25c and 50c, and $60,000,000 cf each shall be issued, exchangeable in suss of $10 and multiples thereof for coin or legal loader notes or bonds of the United States. It ia* titer provides that ia so ease shall th» currency be designated or termed as note or promises to pay. '"'Bills were also introduced making lha agricultural but can an executive department, and for the admission of Washington territory as a State.

Garrison, on behalf of the committee on the District of Columbia, moved to pace the bill to incorporate the Garfield Memtorial Hospital. A half hour's debate disclosed some objection to the measure, on the ground that there were already enough hospitals in the District for all practical purposes Jhat the incorporation of another would have the effect of bringing to the District persons from adjacent State', who shonld be taken care-of in the various State institutions, and that there was nothing in the bill which would prevent the incorporators from applying to the Government for assistance. A motion to suspend the rules and pass tbe bill was defeated—yeas, 140 nays, 86—not being the necessary two-thuds in the affirmative.

The Speaker announced as the committee on a memorial relative to the services rendered the Government by Carlisle P. Patterson, Karson, Robeson of Massachusetts, Randall, Atkins and McLine.

Mr. Beecher Takes it Back. NKW YORK, Jan. 16.—Rev. H." W. Beecher, before beginning his sermon yesterday, referred to bis New Year's sermon and the public schools of Brooklyn, and read the following: "A sentence in a recent discourse delivered by me in this place has been widely construed as rendering liable to suspicion a large body of citizens holding official relations under our municipal government. I regard the sentence as fairly liable to such criticism, and I therefore disavow any such intent, and annul the sentence. Especially dp I regret, with emphasis, any such construction of my language as shall throw suspicion on the integrity Of this large and honorable band of women who teach in our public schools, whose laborious, and often thankless, service I have never failed to admire and commend. The more emphatically to disclaim all wish or intent to bring innocent parties under suspicion, I revoke such sentences, and desire that they should be as if they nevei had been uttered. Idothisunso-lic-ited by any party aggrieved, of my own desire, as publicly as I made them, and in the same place. Amen.'
